All the woke media can be defeated by injuring their bottom lines by tuning out .
Their viewing algorithms shows them when historical viewers tuned out. Sort of like the mass exodus from a movie in the middle same with a speech
the bottom line always hurts. It can't afford the niceties of woke. The progressives are being abandoned and neutralized from within their own parties

Pfft, indeed. A wolf in sheeps clothing article that manages to mention every cherry-picked fault, negative stereotype, and even gives a nod to the other hit piece movie about TV, while they try to “white shame” the community about being out of touch with reality.

F the NYT.

I thought it was an excellent portrayal of TV as it is NOW. It was very different 20 yrs ago.

Default Typical “dressed up” hit piece.

A more subtle than usual hit piece for NYT, but still a hit piece. Cherry picked data and insulted us on many levels. They seem to be obsessed with TV.
Remember NYT was one of two Producers of that movie about TV. Since when does a “newspaper” put up money to produce a movie.?

As usual he goes to the bar scene and implies that is TV life. Maybe it is for some, but not for me or anyone I know.

He even had to mention STD’s. He obviously didn’t do his homework.

The article is 90% political with Villages stereotypes sprinkled in. It is exactly how a liberal, pompous New Yorker would view The Villages.

That's how the rest of the country sees The Villages.
